be more elaborate in your explanation. What do you mean you're losing power?

when i gently accelerate up from 1500-2000 rpms it feels like a dead area it still is moving faaster but when i hit 2000 it jumps again.. its kinda hard to explain but you can watch the oil pressure drop and everything in that area.

make sure it's the opti before you go blowing your money on one. it still sounds a bit fishy to me. Try and get a video uploaded

i am pretty sure it is cause when i first bought it the car would stall and ignition was bad it has 250k on the body but 60k on motor and trans and it looked like he had those plugs in and wires on it for ever and a day when i changed them.. i thought it was bad then and the problem has continued getting worse.. but i am going to try and test it in alittle bit at my buddies shop
